I got my white 02 P5 auto about 3 months ago with 64K from the dealer 130 miles away from my home. The price was 7900$ in very good exterior and interior conditions. So far no big problem, the only thing i would complain is MPG is so suck. I got on average about 20 mpg, mixed city and Hwy...

I live Chicago. I got the car in the dealer in Champaign.

Thanks for info. Actually, I live in Chicago. I bought it from the dealer in Champaign. Do you have the exact address for the shop?

Thanks for your suggestion. I love this car and I wanna keep it. I 'll let my mechanic check it first because he is closed to my house. If it is an expensive fix, I will have to drive 2 hours to the dealer then.

What did you do then? How can I know if my cat is also shot? How bad your MPG?

yeah I got just above 200 miles on a tanks. and I think I am gonna be broke if the mileage still be this awful. I will post again when I change the plugs

thanks anyway.

My warranty will be expired on the end of this month. It will take about 2 hrs driving to the dealer. So that's my problem. I am trying to do from minor thing that i can do myself. If there was problems with O2 sensors or catalytic converter, the CEL should be on right? I don't get any code.

Thanks , I have put ~ 220 miles after I reset the ECU. I am waiting for the next tank. Hopefully, I will get better, MPG

Do you know how long for the running rich period?

Thanks for quick reply!! I bought it from the dealer in chicago, It is an 2002 model. It came with 3000 miles warranty, everything works fine, the car run very smooth except horrible MPG. I will replace spark plugs asap. Anything else? I should do?
